    1111A robust and generic version of this file can be created using the `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` command which automatically substitutes the required paths, see TracInstall#cgi-bin. The script should be sufficient for most installations and users not wanting more information can proceed to [#Mappingrequeststothescript configuring Apache].

    116101In order to let Apache run the script, access to the directory in which the script resides is opened up to all of Apache. Additionally, the `WSGIApplicationGroup` directive ensures that Trac is always run in the first Python interpreter created by mod_wsgi. This is necessary because the Subversion Python bindings, which are used by Trac, don't always work in other sub-interpreters and may cause requests to hang or cause Apache to crash. After adding this configuration, restart Apache, and then it should work.

    294279
    295 === Using CA !SiteMinder Authentication
    296 
    297 Setup CA !SiteMinder to protect your Trac login URL, for example `/trac/login`. Also, make sure the policy is set to include the HTTP_REMOTE_USER variable. If your site allows it, you can set this in `LocalConfig.conf`:
    298 {{{#!apache
    299 RemoteUserVar="WHATEVER_IT_SHOULD_BE"
    300 SetRemoteUser="YES"
    301 }}}
    302 
    303 The specific variable is site-dependent. Ask your site administrator. If your site does not allow the use of `LocalConfig.conf` for security reasons, have your site administrator set the policy on the server to set REMOTE_USER.
    304 
    305 Also add a !LogOffUri parameter to the agent configuration, for example `/trac/logout`.
    306 
    307 Then modify the trac.wsgi script generated using `trac-admin <env> deploy <dir>` to add the following lines, which extract the `HTTP_REMOTE_USER` variable and set it to `REMOTE_USER`:
    308 
    309 {{{#!python
    310 def application(environ, start_request):
    311     # Set authenticated username on CA SiteMinder to REMOTE_USER variable
    312     # strip() is used to remove any spaces on the end of the string
    313     if 'HTTP_SM_USER' in environ:
    314         environ['REMOTE_USER'] = environ['HTTP_REMOTE_USER'].strip()
    315     ...
    316 }}}
    317 
    318 You do not need any Apache "Location" directives.
     280=== Using Apache authentication with the Account Manager plugin's Login form ===
     281
     282To begin with, see the basic instructions for using the Account Manager plugin's [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/Modules#LoginModule Login module] and its [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/AuthStores#HttpAuthStore HttpAuthStore authentication module].
     283
     284'''Note:''' If is difficult to get !HttpAuthStore to work with WSGI when using any Account Manager version prior to acct_mgr-0.4. Upgrading is recommended.
     285
     286Here is an example (from the !HttpAuthStore link) using acct_mgr-0.4 for hosting a single project:
     287{{{#!ini
     288[components]
     289; be sure to enable the component
     290acct_mgr.http.HttpAuthStore = enabled
     291
     292[account-manager]
     293; configure the plugin to use a page that is secured with http authentication
     294authentication_url = /authFile
     295password_store = HttpAuthStore
     296}}}
     297This will generally be matched with an Apache config like:
     298{{{#!apache
     299<Location /authFile>
     300   …HTTP authentication configuration…
     301   Require valid-user
     302</Location>
     303}}}
     304Note that '''authFile''' need not exist (unless you are using Account Manager older than 0.4). See the !HttpAuthStore link above for examples where multiple Trac projects are hosted on a server.

    326 If you want your Trac to be served from eg !http://trac.my-proj.my-site.org, then from the folder eg `/home/trac-for-my-proj`, if you used the command `trac-admin the-env initenv` to create a folder `the-env`, and you used `trac-admin the-env deploy the-deploy` to create a folder `the-deploy`, then first:

    335 
    336321Keep the file above your document root for security reasons.
    337322
    338 Create this file for example `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/trac.my-proj.my-site.org.conf` on Ubuntu with the following content:
     323Create this file e.g. (ubuntu) `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/trac.my-proj.my-site.org.conf` with the following content:

    … …  
    359344}}}
    360345
    361 For subdomains to work you would probably also need to alter `/etc/hosts` and add A-Records to your host's DNS.

    363348== Troubleshooting
    … …  
    365350=== Use a recent version
    366351
    367 Please use either version 1.6, 2.4 or later of `mod_wsgi`. Versions prior to 2.4 in the 2.X branch have problems with some Apache configurations that use WSGI file wrapper extension. This extension is used in Trac to serve up attachments and static media files such as style sheets. If you are affected by this problem, attachments will appear to be empty and formatting of HTML pages will appear not to work due to style sheet files not loading properly. Another frequent symptom is that binary attachment downloads are truncated. See mod_wsgi tickets [https://code.google.com/archive/p/modwsgi/issues/100 #100] and [https://code.google.com/archive/p/modwsgi/issues/132 #132].
    368 
    369 '''Note''': using mod_wsgi 2.5 and Python 2.6.1 gave an Internal Server Error on my system (Apache 2.2.11 and Trac 0.11.2.1). Upgrading to Python 2.6.2 (as suggested [http://www.mail-archive.com/modwsgi@googlegroups.com/msg01917.html here]) solved this for me[[BR]]-- Graham Shanks

    373358=== Getting Trac to work nicely with SSPI and 'Require Group'
    374359
    375 If you have set Trac up on Apache, Win32 and configured SSPI, but added a 'Require group' option to your Apache configuration, then the SSPIOmitDomain option is probably not working. If it is not working, your usernames in Trac probably look like 'DOMAIN\user' rather than 'user'.

    415 === Missing Headers and Footers
    416 
    417 If python optimizations are enabled, then headers and footers will not be rendered. An error will be raised in Trac 1.0.11 and later when optimizations are enabled.
    418 
    419 In your WSGI configuration file, the `WSGIPythonOptimize` setting must be set to `0` (`1` or `2` will not work):
    420 
    421 {{{#!apache
    422     WSGIPythonOptimize 0
    423 }}}
    424 
    425 On Ubuntu, the WSGI mod configuration is at `/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.conf`.
    426 
    427 The same issue is seen with `PythonOptimize On` in [TracModPython#Pagelayoutissues ModPython].
